Nico Rosberg has modified his proposed world cup-themed helmet ahead of the German grand prix.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the championship leader announced he would celebrate Germany’s win by wearing a special helmet at Hockenheim this weekend featuring an image of the famous world cup trophy.<\/p>\n
But we reported earlier that reproducing the image of the trophy falls foul of the world football federation FIFA’s strict rules protecting its ‘official marks’.<\/p>\n
The Mercedes driver’s public relations manager Georg Nolte confirmed: “There will be an update on Nico’s Germany helmet design today.<\/p>\n
“(It) will be without (the) world cup trophy, but (now) with four stars on it.”<\/p>\n
The four stars correspond to each of Germany’s world cup wins, in 1954, 1974, 1990 and now 2014.<\/p>\n
